I honestly enjoy touchwiz way more than the current CM.
The s6 touchwiz is super-bloated, and performace crippling. although, the 6.0.1 update isn't that bad, but the norwegian s6 hasn't gotten it yet. although i use a custom rom (s7 edge port to s6), and it works way better. probably going to dual-boot cm13 when it becomes good stable and functional enought.

I haven't used the S6 yet because 90% of Samsung phones suck for brief period of time, until the community fixes their shit. That's actually my big issue with Android. Most stock OS's on Android phones are just full of bloatware and it requires the community to fix the problems the problems.

Galaxy J5. I use my phone all that much, nor do I use any application except for youtube or facebook. I don't use facebook's official app though, as it uses about 20% of a phone's battery on its own. I use Metal, it's lighter weight.

I rooted it and got a rom with close to stock android as possible. I love android, but Touchwiz is utter crap.

if you have music playing in the background, and you are typing on twitter etc. you can experience lag on the keyboard(on stock fw). it even has 3 gb ram and 2.1ghz 8 core processor. on 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 the ram management is wayyyy too agressive

I have an iPhone 5.
Battery is kinda dieing and the home button is loose (I can rotate it).
Won't be upgrading though.

That's pretty sad because my shitty S3 can do that just fine. Although I am running a stripped down version of Android.

S3 is still a good one. I use mine as a backup. Also using a stripped down version. Fast as hell though, even if it's light on features.

Yes, I can confirm that something went wrong at 4.0+ custom ROMs!

Every CFW I installed on my Crapsung GalaxyY, all worked flawlessly, and most of them were even better than the stock crap. (2.3.6)

I have CM7 or 9 on my Huawei Ideos S7 Slim, and the camera doesn't work, and you can't speak and hear while calling the same time (cellural call), but at least most apps run on it, because of 4.x (4.0.1, 2.2.2 stock)

My phone's stock FW has the most features (even more than CM offers!), but it's hardcodedly bundled with GApps, so I can't remove it, because of "* has stopped working" annoyance. I have tested ~88% of CFWs for this phone, and all of them lack something essential, that the HARDWARE provides (like proper Dual-SIM support). And sometimes the system apps crash on CFWs. (4.4.2)

I see a pattern here.

Touchwiz is definitely bloated out of the box and that's why I recommend getting a custom touchwiz rom (twi5ted or goldeneye) which eliminates the bloat and also trims the rom down. From my experience, the nightlies cm12 roms are still buggy on my s5 and at times the phone reboots and overheats for no reason. That's when I switched back to touchwiz but I chose a custom debloated version of it. It's super stable, no more overheating, and random reboots.

Here's the thread I used to install the goldeneye rom on s4:

And this one is what I am using currently on my s5:

TouchWiz/Lagwiz/Borewiz. = Bloated as f** ( some people are forced to use custom Roms to get rid of all the useless junk ) .

worst UI ever, screw sammy.

CM/StockAndroid Ftw.
never getting a sammy again, i did love the S2/S5 but no more Sammy for me.
after getting the nexus 6 ,having made the complete switch to StockAndroid , i am loving the buttery smooth Aosp on the Nexy.

Is there a sprint version of this ROM? The phone I am running is currently sprint, until I unlock it.

Apparently not because sprint has very finicky bootloader :/. However, I found these sprint touchwiz based custom roms that you can sift through and find the one that suits your needs:
